It's sad. There's nothing wrong with the election system in this country yet this clown is dragging the country down to the level of being the laughing stock of the world

This is totally heartbreaking: Interview With a Woman Who Recently Had an Abortion at 32 Weeks

She has a good conservative answer for it - it's none of the government's business.

I happen to know her, through friends. She's such a genuinely nice person, and her husband is great too. It's so sad.

Another reason I truly despise the religious right in this country. If they had their way, she would have had to give birth to a baby with no hope of survival, putting her at risk as well, all because they believe in an invisible man in the sky.

I really can't imagine the heartbreak of not only losing her child, but being forced to jump over so many obstacles to get the health care she needed

Interesting anecdote I just read - early voting allows wives to vote without their husbands.

I'm still suffering debate hangover

Reflections ...

1. Posted this (#5073) here, back in March, almost 8 months ago:

Even tho handwriting has been on the wall for months - actually hearing his threat, as it oozed out from the little round anus on his face, was a shock.
One can't overstate the danger of the rabble rousing implication for our Democracy.

2.
Nah, f**k Manhattan... so long as the 66th,7th and 8th floors of the Trumpty Dumpty Triplex in Trump Tower remain high and dry - nothing else matters because nothing else has any reality in the unreality of Donald's reality show universe. It's a hollow hologram..

Although I give Chris Wallace high marks (in fact, for me - he was the overall debate winner), it's regrettable that he didn't include the existential issue of climate change!

3.
He'd decree an exception for 'HOMBRE' rape.
A progeny purity clause.
"His" Supremes would see to that

Wow. Shouldn't have read that at work, and certainly shouldn't have trawled through the comments. Somebody seems to have been slicing onions somewhere nearby...

A powerfully written piece, and a very courageous young woman for sharing her story (though, it's so ****ing wrong that it should need to be a courageous act to tell a story like this...)

MMcD

Yes he did!

He actually did engage in mock debates - and I kid you not:


Chris Christie played Hillary!

The comparison with Berlusconi is very apt, and the facial expressions of Trump and his ways of expressing himself reminds me of Mussolini. However Mussolini was very well read, and did have a comprehensive economic philosophy, from what I hear Trump avoids reading much at all.

Also, Berlusconi is a successful businessman, so that was a little off as well. Maybe throw a little Bernie Madoff in there as well.

Don't know about other areas of the country, but around here Trump's comments about the outcome of election are not really a big issue. Clinton supporters just add it to their list of Trump comments they don't like. Trump supporters I think generally don't care about such comments, and just take it as Trump annoying the media and politicians of both parties. They see Trump as someone who will shake up the status quo.

Clinton will have a tough time governing country with the level of partisan extremists on both sides. And perhaps Republican party will break into two parties.

The wife is at the Phoenix rally where Michelle Obama is talking today. I've just been listening on a live stream (https://www.c-span.org/video/?417210...hoenix-arizona).

Damn, she's a good orator. If she isn't planning something in the political field in a few years time all these Michelle2024 signs will be wasted.
